These songs are a remarkable combination of music and words which are eminently appropriate for worship, and yet completely within the capabilities of a primary or junior child both to sing and to understand. These songs face squarely all the implications of New Testament theology, drawing lessons, in a child's terms, from Jesus' parpables of brotherhood, love, and immortality. They present Jesus in His essential simplicity, at once God-like and child-like. They represent religious reaching at its most effective.
